Lan Waihu took a deep breath and answered confidently, "I will!"
However, there were too many events to uncover . She did not know where to begin . Moreover, some parts of the incident were quite trivial; so trivial that people would easily overlook them, but those things were too hurtful not to share .
"Shall we do it this way? You only have to answer my questions," offered Gu Xijiu .
She then threw Mrs . Yan a gaze . "If you find anything wrong, feel free to point it out . "
Mrs . Yan agreed . Moreover, it had been a long while since the incident happened . She believed that Lan Waihu might not be able to remember everything . Even if everything was uncovered, she could always deny the accusation . They could not find out the truth, anyway .
Gu Xijiu knew what she was planning on and immediately crushed it . "Mrs . Yan, to make sure that all of us are telling the truth, all of you should make a solemn vow . "
Puzzled, Mrs . Yan questioned, "What now?"
"We shall swear on the closest relation we have, Mrs . Yan . You should vow to tell the truth, in return for Yan Chen's lifetime of happiness . If you lie, he will not be loved for the rest of his life and bound to live in solitary," Gu Xijiu answered slowly .
Furious, Mrs . Yan's expression changed immediately . "Miss Gu, Yan Chen is a friend of yours . How can you curse him so viciously?"
"Mother, I am not afraid of the curse! If you tell the truth, I will not be cursed . " Yan Chen responded steadily .
"Mother, I am not afraid of the curse! If you tell the truth, I will not be cursed . " Yan Chen responded steadily .
Mrs . Yan did not know what to answer .
Her only hope was that Lan Waihu could not remember clearly about the incident and how it happened . However, the tragedy had been haunting Lan Waihu ever since, so there was no way that she could not remember .
Moreover, Gu Xijiu designed her questions to perfectly portray every important detail . Lan Waihu answered honestly . Slowly, the entire incident came to light .
Most of the time, Mrs . Yan was desperate to deny the accusations with her smooth talking . However, she dared not risk her son's life .
Yan Chen listened quietly . His face slowly turned paler and paler . He turned to look at Lan Waihu . There was a sign of pain in his dreadful eyes .
Yan Chen listened quietly . His face slowly turned paler and paler . He turned to look at Lan Waihu . There was a sign of pain in his dreadful eyes .
He always knew that Lan Waihu must have been wronged, but the extent of her injustice was beyond his expectation . He did not know that his own mother would say one thing and do another behind his back, slowly driving Lan Waihu up the wall .
When Lan Waihu told them what happened at the lake, she completely revealed the conversations between the two servants, Mrs . Yan and Leng Wushuang . She recalled and repeated their words without leaving out any details .
Upon hearing how she was being treated, all of the bystanders clenched their fists in anger .
They looked at Mrs . Yan with despise and disbelief .
They could not believe that a well-educated and elegant woman like her would insult a young little girl in such a cruel and humiliating way . She was just like a shrew, shouting abuses so publicly . They understood why Lan Waihu would be so triggered by her words and threw her aggressively into the lake .
She had criticized her parents so rudely . Anyone would fight back just as same . She was not trying to teach her some manners .

She had criticized her parents so rudely . Anyone would fight back just as same . She was not trying to teach her some manners .
Personally, she had no regard for Lan Waihu at all . She looked down on her because she was an orphan . She was trying to force her out of the family .
It was no wonder that Lan Waihu would leave the family . She even chose to break up with Yan Chen . Not many could take such humiliation lightly .
Mrs . Yan was very ashamed . Lan Waihu's narration was a complete embarra.s.sment to her, but there was no way she could deny it . That was the truth .
She could only say that she was eager for perfection in making Lan Waihu the perfect wife for her son . However, the bystanders could not be fooled easily . They despised her even further .
If it were not for Yan Chen, they would have punched her in the face by now .
